SUBARU WILL DONATE $250 TO PARTICIPATING CHARITIES FOR EVERY NEW SUBARU VEHICLE PURCHASED OR LEASED NOVEMBER 17, 2016 – JANUARY 3, 2017

WASHINGTON – People across the country will have the opportunity to support their more than 400 national parks whenever they buy or lease a new Subaru vehicle, thanks to a partnership between the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks, and Subaru of America.

Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased through January 3, 2017 to participating charitable partners during its ninth annual Share the Love event. Subaru will donate $250 to the National Park Foundation when the customer selects the National Park Foundation as the charity of choice during the event period. Subaru has also released a version of "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" for streaming and download. For each download, all Subaru profits will be donated to the four national charity partners, including the National Park Foundation.

This year, for the first time throughout the life of the program, there will be no cap on the total donation from Subaru of America to its charitable partners. By the end of this year’s event, Subaru hopes to exceed a grand total of nearly $90 million donated since the creation of Share the Love.

Through this annual event, Subaru has provided over $4 million in funding to the National Park Foundation for critical programs and projects in more than 100 national parks and helped increase public awareness and engagement across our National Park System.

Subaru is also supporting the National Park Foundation’s efforts as a premier partner for Find Your Park/Encuentra Tu Parque. Launched in March 2015, #FindYourPark is a public awareness and education movement to inspire people from all backgrounds to connect with, celebrate, and support America’s national parks and community-based programs. Celebrating the National Park Service Centennial and setting the stage for the Service's next 100 years, #FindYourPark invites people to discover and share their own unique connections to our nation's natural landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history.
